Knowledge of morality, free of infallibility. I strive to learn and teach of the philosophy, logic, or value of our knowledge of love and hate, good or evil, right and wrong; born from how much more conscious we of ourselves and everything else in contrast to nature — of selfishness and selflessness. Though heavily inspired by Tolstoy's non-fiction, I find any source of humanities knowledge of morality worthy of consideration.

  • "Where an attacker does not want or need co-operation." That's the context in which I'm speaking. That's the whole point, to not submit to both your inherent need to retaliate and there demand for you of something; to not just sit there and do nothing, but resist—non-violently. To not submit to them taking your land, your children, but to do so non-violently. To resist the aggressor, by never giving them your obedience, which includes allowing them to harm you or your loved ones, but without literally fighting back, but by never backing down at the same time.

  • It's definitely an incredibly helpful one, that's for sure. I agree it's my opinion but yours falls more in line of that of a murderers considering you're saying that there are circumstances when murder should be championed. Which begs the lesson I wish I would've made my original comment to connotate more efficiently: who's the real bad guy when both are celebrating debately equally as terrible acts?

  • Violence didn't result because Gandhi ever advocated for it, it was something that happened as a result of it. Because again non-violence isn't just standing by and doing nothing, it's about resisting evil via non-cooperation. Resisting it by not obeying it; not retaliating, but never to submit to evil at the same time.

  • "India’s Freedom Struggle (1857-1947) was shaped by influential leaders who are called Freedom Fighters of India like Mahatma Gandhi, who pioneered nonviolent resistance"

    Those riots wouldn't have had any influence whatsoever, along with so much of all the other things done outside of the influence of MLK's nonviolent influence, if it wasn't for him sitting down with the president himself, and pressuring him via calm mindedness logic and reason, not to mention organizing the biggest moment in the entire movement by far.

  • Check this out, Tolstoy's Personal, Social, and Divine Conceptions to life:

    "The whole historic existence of mankind is nothing else than the gradual transition from the personal, animal conception of life (the savage recognizes life only in himself alone; the highest happiness for him is the fullest satisfaction of his desires), to the social conception of life (recognizing life not in himself alone, but in societies of men—in the tribe, the clan, the family, the kingdom, the government—and sacrifices his personal good for these societies), and from the social conception of life to the divine conception of life (recognizing life not in his own individuality, and not in societies of individualities, but in the eternal undying source of life—in God; and to fulfill the will of God he is ready to sacrifice his own individuality and family and social welfare). The whole history of the ancient peoples, lasting through thousands of years and ending with the history of Rome, is the history of the transition from the animal, personal view of life to the social view of life. The whole history from the time of the Roman Empire and the appearance of Christianity is the history of the transition, through which we are still passing now, from the social view to life to the divine view of life." - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God Is Within You

    "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherent the Earth." - Jesus, Matt 5:5

    Not the traditional Christianity; Revelation, Corinthians this or supernatural, spiritual that. One that consists of a more philosophical interpretation of The Gospels that's hiding underneath all the dogma ever since Paul. One that emphasizes The Sermon On the Mount, debately, the most publicized point of his time spent suffering to teach the value of selflessness and virtue, thus, the most accurate in my opinion. Tolstoy learned ancient Greek and translated The Gospels himself as: The Gospel In Brief, if you're interested. This translation I've found to be the best:

  • Because at the core of all this isn't the way we organize ourselves in anyway and how many CEO's we kill but knowledge, transferring our knowledge of the value of virtue, learning about and teaching it, because it's a knowledge that needs to be gained. We can't convince people of the woes of privatizing Healthcare when we're literally murdering them, and threatening them with the same weapon they use themselves.

  • Well at least you're acknowledging it's bad at the end there that's great, but i still wouldn't consider any murder necessarily good; necessary in extreme circumstances of course, i've talked about that with either you or other commenters, but something to avoid at all costs, and never to be seen as a good thing in any case whatsoever—never worth championing. I cant help but to think that killing some CEO wasn't necessary even a little bit, and doesn't fit those more extreme circumstances mentioned. I can't say it enough, hate only ever leads to more hate, until someone is willing to react differently.

  • I'm not saying they're related I'm saying 9/11 would be an example of some of the woes that come with returning evil with evil. Like Japan learned unfortunately. Doesn't mean however that it stopped anything in the future to happen as a result of it. That we more potentially gained a permanent enemy if anything.

  • My apologies my friend didn't mean to offend in anyway, no need to be so angry about it and insult.

    My question has yet to be rebuked by saying what exactly makes one's rape or murder any different from anothers. It's still rape or murder either way you look at it; no matter how justified you think it is.

  • We have yet to see. 9/11 ring any bells?

    What does that have to do with the relevance of returning the evil of that war with good?

    This still doesn't prove the irrelevance of it becasue who can say what else would've happened if evils to this degree were met with equal parts good?

    I thought we were talking about war here? More specifically even murdering a CEO as a matter of fact. Of course that person should be trying to escape, people have a tendency of not looking at this idea reasonably, and especially to ge off topic and use these specific situations where of course we should be using any means necessary to get ourselves out in that situation. I didn't realize world peace rested on this women trying to change the mind of this one serial killer apparently, I'm assuming.

  • I'm sorry if I've insulted you in anyway, I'm not here to hate. So if I've offended you in anyway I genuinely apologize and I'm sorry about how you feel towards my sentiments, please consider considering them again sometime in the future.

    Happy new year my friend and good day to you.
